TANK FOR DISINFECTING RA ZORS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 612,041, dated October 1 1, 1898.

Application filed October 18, 1897.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN HURLEY, of Little Falls, in thecounty of IIerkimer and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razor-Bath Tanks; and I do hereby declare that thefollowin g is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the acfigures of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a perspective view of my razor-bath tank. Fig. '2 shows a vertical'sectio'n of the tank with razors in position therein. Fig. 3 shows a sitky view of the upper portion of the tank of the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 shows, partially in front elevation and partially in vertical section, a modified form of construction. Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the upper end of the tank of the modified form of construction shown in Fig.4. Fig. 6 shows, partially in front elevation and partially in vertical section, the upper portion of abath-tank of another modified form of construction. Fig. 7 shows in perspective the upper portion of the bath-tank of this modified form of construction.

Referring to the reference letters and fig-- ures in a more particular description of the de'vice,1 indicates the body of the tank, which is preferably of glass, and is provided on opposite sides at its upper end with'grooves or handles of the razors, as hereinafter pointed out. It will be observed that the walls of the built out, affording a wide or long bearing for the razor-handle. The opposite walls of thenotches 2 2 are also substantially paralnotch or groove is less than that of the normal thickness of the razor-handle, so that the parts of the razor-handle will spring together, as shown by the dotted and full lines in Fig. adapted to contain an antiseptic solution, .and the razor-blades are turned at right angles to the handle of the razor in the bath, preferably as shown in Fig.

Serial No. 655,653. (No model.)

2, and the handles wcdging in the, notches or l recesses in the upper endof the tank, as before specified.

- In order to give a symmetricalappearance to the bath and strengthen its upper edge, there is provided a projecting rim 3, which is preferably of a width substantially equal to the width of the enlarged portions containing the notches 2, and on one side this rim may be provided with an opening 4, which will receive and hold a show-card. V

Inthe, modified form of construction shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the grooves or notches for receiving the razor-handles are not formed integral with the tank, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, but the tank 1" is provided with a beaded edge I), and means for holding the razors is provided in the attachment 5, con sisting of a band, preferably of rubber, surrounding the upper end of'the tank and provided withnotches 2? 2, 850., similar in form to those before described, formed integral with the tank. This attachment, when made of rubber, will retain its position on the tank by its own contraction, and in use will appear to tion as that before described, excepting, perhaps, that there maybe a firmer grasp of the razor-handle by reason of the adhesion of the rubber to the same.

In the modified form of the construction shown in Figs. 6 and? a clamping-band dis be substantially the same construc-.

provided, surrounding the upper end of the tank 1", which, as shown, isnot provided with any bead. The clamping-band may be of metal or other suitable material and se-.

cured by the clarnpmg-screws 7, passing through ears therein, as shown. On the opposite sides of the tank the band has secured thereto at either end, as indicated at 8, undulating spring-strips 9 9, forming grooves or notches similarto those before described and adapted to receive the razor-handles. The elasticity of the spring-strips 9 is such that when the razor-handle is placed in position therein there will be a certain amount of'yielding and requiring a less amount-0f yielding between the parts of the razor-handle when the razor is placed'in position in the tank. 4 It is evident that other. modifications and changes in and from the construction described maybe made without departing from the spirit of my invention. I

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A razor-bath tank or attachment having a series of projections rounded on their ends, and forming a series of horizontal notches adapted to receive a razor-handle sprung into position between the opposing sides of the projection, substantially as set forth.

2. A razor-bath tank having enlarged or thickened upper edges formed into horizontal grooves or notches adapted to receive and hold a razor, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
